40 Oz to Freedom...So True In Hindsight, But Make Mine A Double

I broke and went back to Best Buy and got the Sublime: Gold cd. Basically, yeah, it's hot. I guess that's one thing I can thank Drake for: introducing me to this band, which I absolutely love. I really think "Santeria" is my fave Sublime song, but then I also love "Waiting For My Ruca", and of course "40 Oz to Freedom". But I also secretly think "Date Rape" is kind of funny, seeing as how the guy ends up being someone's bitch in prison, thus getting what he deserves.

I felt I didn't do the new Julie Roberts cd proper justice when I said is was so great in my last post. It's beyond great. It's fucking awesome. Her voice is amazing. There are few female singers I really like, and she's one of them. I'll post some of the lyrics shortly, but dear lord, the album is so good. I can't decide which I like best - "Smile", "Men and Mascara", "First to Never Know" and "Chasin' Whiskey" are my faves I think, though "Wake Up Older" from her first album may still be her best song ever. I don't know, because "Break Down Here" from the same album was also pretty fucking sweet. It's kind of fitting her first cd got me through the break up with Adam, and now this is the one I've got for this one with Drake. However, as you can see by my last post, perhaps the cd should have been out two months ago because, as I said, that corner has been turned. Don't get me wrong, I am sure there will still be bad days, but not like they were. I pretty much feel like a new person almost, though my apathy level is still pretty high. I love my friends and obviously care about them, but to everyone else, right now I pretty much don't give a fuck. I probably should work on that still, regardless of the new feeling of good I have.

Here are a few of the songs from the cd, but you definitely need to buy it, I command all of you. Or at least download them, though she is one of the few artists I actually refuse to dl music from - she deserves every penny she makes, because she is that fucking awesome.

Men and Mascara
Sunday dress hanging on the bedroom door
Empty bottle of wine on the hardwood floor
Last night, he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run

Did I give my love too soon or wait too long
Did I take it a little too easy, or put it on too strong
She was looking for love, he was looking for fun
Yeah, men and mascara always run

She ain't getting any younger
It wasn't s'posed to be this way
Staring in the mirror
With little black rivers running down her face

Tomorrow's gonna be a brand new day
She'll wake up in the morning and wash it all away
Last night, he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara, they always run
Yeah, men and mascara always run

Chasin' Whiskey
That isolating fan is moving left to right
Like it's mocking me for coming here again last night
I slide from under your arm, you're still out stone cold
As I fumble through the twisted sheets looking for my clothes
I step over that spot on your hardwood floor
The one that always squeaks when I'm sneaking out your door

Some use water, others use beer
Some don't need anything but I end up here
Searching for comfort for this burn I can't soothe
Chasing my whiskey with you

I call up my sister and tell her, don't say a word
You know where I am, I'll wait here by the curb
Just like an addiction, well, I tried to give you up
But I know all bets are off when I've had too much
With an empty shot glass on a Budweiser coaster
Staring at my cell phone as closing time gets closer

Some use water, others use beer
Some don't need anything but I end up here
Searching for comfort for this burn I can't soothe
Chasing my whiskey with you

Every time is the last time
Til the next time rolls around
I'll trade lonely for a regret
It's easier to drown

Some use water, others use beer
Some don't need anything but I end up here
Searching for comfort for this burn I can't soothe
Chasing my whiskey with you
Chasing my whiskey with you

First To Never Know
I just passed a cheap motel sign
Think I stop here and stay the night
First one alone in a long time
Right thing to do's not feeling right
Bright and early I'll be moving on
Could've been more miles between us
Until I'm finally gone

Well, I might go to Vegas
Somewhere where it snows
I might end up in Dallas
On some old dusty road
On the coast of Carolina
Who knows where I'll go
But when I find out
You'll be the first to never know

I gave up more than you know
Let you follow your dreams
Put mine on hold
Gave you my love, gave you my soul
But in return your cheating left me cold
Your lies ain't worth one single tear
One thing's for sure, I'm outta here

Well, I might go to Vegas
Somewhere where it snows
I might end up in Dallas
On some old dusty road
On the coast of Carolina
Who knows where I'll go
But when I find out
You'll be the first to never know

Well, I might go to Vegas
Somewhere where it snows
I might end up in Dallas

Yeah, when I find out
You'll be the first to never know
